A further mosque is the Kato (Lower) Paphos Mescit. A mosque had already stood on the same site, but it collapsed in 1908. It was not until 1927 that a new, small Muslim place of worship was built at the request of the Muslim population in Kato Paphos.

The Cami-i Kebir Mosque (or also known as the Great Mosque, Ayia Sophia Mosque of Paphos or Mosque of Mehmet Bey Ebubekir) is located in the Moutallos district in the north of the city.
The mosque is located centrally in the old village centre. According to Bağişkan, the current building was erected in 1901. After 1974, the property and garden were used by an artist as a summer art school.
The Hacı Mustafa Ağa Mosque is located in the western area of the original settlement area. Not much is known about the history of the building. However, it is said that a mosque existed in the village as early as 1883. Due to the construction method, the current building is likely to be a new construction from the 20th century. In 2005, the entire building was renovated.
